From the author of Perdido Street Station, an epic and breathtaking fantasy of extraordinary imagination

A colossal fantasy of incredible diversity and spellbinding imagination. A human cargo bound for servitude in exile…

A pirate city hauled across the oceans…

A hidden miracle about be revealed…

These are the ingredients of an astonishing story. It is the story of a prisoner’s journey. Of the search for the island of a forgotten people, for the most astonishing beast in the seas, and ultimately for a fabled place - a massive wound in reality, a source of unthinkable power and danger.

PRAISE FOR CHINA MIEVILLE

[Mieville’s] wit dazzles, his humour is lively, and the pure vitality of his imagination is astonishing. Ursula K. Le Guin, The Guardian (on Three Moments of an Explosion)

Dark and thought-provoking. The San Diego Union-Tribune (on The City & The City)

Richly conceived. The New York Times Book Review (on Embassytown)

Mieville more than delivers. San Francisco Chronicle (on Kraken)

Compulsively readable. The Washington Post Book World (on Perdido Street Station)
